A visitor
My friend Ben (he’s been featured previously here , when he met me for a quick South roadtrip) lives in Sydney and we have been trying to arrange a Sydney meet up for a while now. Each date we’ve suggested hasn’t worked out, to the point that it’s become predictable! So imagine my surprise when last week he says ‘sorry, my parents are out then so I have to entertain them. But how about I come to Auckland this weekend?’. This weekend being 4 days away! I had no other plans so said yes and started planning what we could do for 3 days. Ben’s the kind of person who’s really good to have as a friend – not only is he very easy going and hilarious, he is up for anything! So I texted him a variety of activities we could do on the weekend, and he said yes to them all – woohoo! So first off, we got up and headed to Tawharanui to hire some surfboards and shred some waves. That makes me sound so cool – if only you could see me try and surf and you’d realise very soon I’m not very cool at all.
